From Healthing by Postmedia Machado: Say what you want about long wait lists and overcrowded waiting rooms and burned out staff, but this sort of sloughing off of worry, concern and empathy has nothing to do with a healthcare system that's barely standing. Rather, it's about a healthcare professional unable to take a moment to consider the human in front of them.

From Healthing by Postmedia Despite a dismal 10-per-cent expectation of survival, there once was a mom who took a shot. It was a monumental effort, getting her sick child on a plane to Canada, advocating for him and learning about his disease, but after a gruelling stem cell transplant at SickKids and a yearlong recovery, he is now a young adult with his whole life ahead of him. Ask her now what she would have done with even worse odds, and she’ll tell you that she would have still tried.

From Healthing by Postmedia: “We said to each other, ‘This is either going to kill us or it’s going to make us stronger'.” Joannie Clements, who was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia 22 years ago, says that patients absolutely must advocate for themselves to ensure care that meets their needs.

From Healthing by Postmedia "Let’s take a moment to remember that universal healthcare came about out of the belief that every person had a right to health care, and that no one should be refused care because they weren’t able to pay for it. The next step though is to evolve this system so that it not only reflects the changing needs of our population, but also adapts new models of healthcare delivery that meet these needs," writes Lisa Machado

From Healthing by Postmedia "We keep telling the same stories of a healthcare system in crisis, but the catalyst for change is taking a hard look at where we'll be if we don't hold decision-makers accountable for not making decisions. So what if there aren’t enough beds in our hospitals? Well, you won’t have a bed when you need life-saving surgery; you'll be using your tropical holiday funds to pay for home care for your aging parents (who will be living with you, by the way); and when your child or their child develops a rare disease, not only will they not have access to the medicine that’s available everywhere else in the world, there won’t be a bed in which to treat the complications of their illness." — Lisa Machado Canadian Medical Association

From Healthing by Postmedia — Lisa Machado: The mess that is Canada's healthcare system is proof of what happens when we ignore lived experience in favour of cost.

From Healthing by Postmedia: Patient and caregiver groups are critical to our healthcare system. Isn't it time we stopped inferring that financial support from pharma means they are ineffective, biased or puppets?
